Last week we enjoyed an insightful discussion about best practices for sharing clinical-level physician data. This webinar was a direct result of watching our own clients across the country improve their efforts to inspire change by how they engage with physicians in team meetings. 
The webinar worked methodically through these topics:
- What type of data makes for an engaging discussion How to prioritize data when time is short
- How to engage lower performers in a group setting
- How to praise (and leverage) a high performer in a group setting
- How to engage chronically disengaged physicians
To sort through these topics, we relied on the expertise of
- John Nelson, MD, MHM, Nelson Flores Hospital Medicine Consultants (and Agathos advisor)
- Michael van Duren, MD, Variation Consulting Group (and Agathos Advisor)
- Stephanie Trees, Chief Strategy Officer, Agathos
Here are a couple of paraphrased soundbites to pique your interest in learning more:
“Always be prepared to clarify attribution, but be sure to make time to discuss how things might change as a result of seeing the data.” - John Nelson
“Only discuss data that is actionable. Things that are within the control of individual physicians.” - All panelists
“Handle critique of data carefully. Redirect to later in-person discussion so as to not derail the team discussion.” - Michael van Duren
“Allow high performers to shine by sharing their approaches to particular topic areas.” - Stephanie Trees
“Be consistent in discussing specific metrics. Once you start tracking specific metrics, come back to those regularly and check in to monitor trends.” - John Nelson
Of course the webinar has so many more nuggets of wisdom for handling these tricky areas. For example, handling lower performing physicians.
